He wears a white yukata adorned with black details and a green cloud pattern at the bottom, giving the piece an authentic Wano feel. Over the yukata, he dons a dark green jittoku haori, a formal coat, which features a mon (crest) of a black sun over khaki gear, adding intricate and meaningful detail to his attire. On his feet, Zoro wears zōri sandals with black straps, completing the traditional look.
His hair is styled in the chonmage fashion, a topknot typical of samurai, which enhances the traditional Japanese aesthetic of the tattoo.
